A MILLIONAIRETO MARRY.
Andrew Carnegie Betrothed to n
Rich Society Belle OF New York.

A New York special says: Society
is all agog over the approaching mar
rage of Miss Whitfield, OF this city, to
Andrew Carnegie, the iron millionaire
of Pittsburgh. A remarkable exclusive
ness has been observed by the family in
regard to the details of the affair, which
has only served TO whet public curiosity.
The family residence of the Whittields,
at 80 west Forty-eighth street, has been
besieged by reporters and others, but
the family have denied themselves to
all. A bright-eyed maid answers all
calls at the bell, and is as dumb as an
oyster regarding anything referring
to the affair. Last night small army
of reporters we're diminishing about
%he leading hotels, looking for Million
aire Carnegie, who was reported to be
in the city. If he is here his retreat
was not disclosed. Matters assumed
an additional tinge of interest this
morning from published dispatches
from Pittsburgh, in which intimate
friends of Carnegie state that there is
no engagement and that no wedding
will take place.
A reporter called at the Whitfield
residence to-day and made inquiries
about Mr.. Carnegie's reported presence
in this city. He was told authorita
lively that he was not in town. In re-
ply to his question regarding the date
of the marriage his informant stated
with emphasis: at will not take
place this week"

CLIPPING A LEOPARD's CLAW.
An Interesting Operation Perform
ed by superintendent Byrne.
philadelphia Press. /

philadelphia PressI
There's mad and at the came time
a relieved black-spotted female leopard
at the Eco.
Yesterday an ingrowing claw was
clipped away by Superintendent Byrne,
assisted by Keeper Shannon, the raging
beast being securely held by stout
ropes and other appliances. During
the preparations for the operation the
other animals of the carnivora house
looked on with wondering eyes and
paced TO and fro uneasily.
For some time the claw of the Loop
ard has grown inward, entering the
flesh and causing lameness and great
pain. When ready to begin the clip
ping Superintendent Byrne and Keeper
Shannon took the "head-rope," con-
sisting of large loop Of thick rope,
on a pole with notch on the end and
caught the animal by the head. He
tied The animal to the cage at once and
placed a piece of pine wood between
Its teeth to prevent it from biting the
iron railing Of the cage.
Each of the four legs were then
caught by slip-knotted foot-ropes. :"
1t took six men to do all this. Three
legs were tied and the one with the
aching claw was pulled ont from be-
meath the wires for the operation.
Keeper Shannon then seized the paw
and separated the flesh from the nail,
while Mr.. Byrne clipped the nail. II
was quickly done and the superintend
ent was careful not to draw blood or cut
close to the quick.
During all this time the Infatuated
animal gave vent to the most excru
ciating howls and screams. They were
the result of fear, for the whole opera
ton was painless. The clippers used
were large pair of plyers, sharpened
to q very keen edge. Immediately af-
ter the operation the animal, being
greatly relieved, gave vent TO its salts
faction by walking up and down its
cell, lashing its tail from side to side.
She was in good humor, the keeper
said, and was not backward in showing
it. The beast is twelve years old,
having come to the Garden in 1876.
Among other items of yesterday was
the birth of fine calf to the Gland.
The little one walked up and down its
cage, and viewed the new world with
great satisfaction.
A bird from Africa called the penguin
arrived yesterday, and it is considered
one of the Gardens choice attractions.
1t is the only one known to be in cap
tiyity. II is amphibious in its nature
and lives most of the time in the water.
II has no wings, but i'll their place are
two paddle-shaped arms. 1t struts
about in such peculiar style that the
keeper thinks it is dude, and has
named it Oscar Wilde.
During the past few days the follow
ing animals have arrived Two young
Dingo dogs, three Asiatic buffaloes
three fallow deer, just born in the Gar
den of one mother; two cashmere
kids, and numerous birds.

MAKING 4 BOmBFOH 4 FARMER.
a NeighbOriy Connecticut Way OF
Helping Each OtherOut OF
the World.

A New Haven Conn special says ::
The village of Wallingford is much ex-
cited over the internal machine which
was found by Constable Austin in the
house of Altoona Fowler last night.
The machine consisted of an old pain,
keg containing six pounds OF powder
and so arranged as to be ignited with
a fuse. Fowler claims that he fixed up
the machine at the request of Alexan-
der Hall, a reputable farmer, who want
ed to blow Aaron A. Hall and his little
farm into eternity. Fowler alleges that
the machine was to be placed under
Aaron Halls bed and set off some night
when he was drunk, and further claims
that Alexander wanted it done to settle
an old drudge against Aaron.
Alex. Hall laughs at Fowler's story
and says it is all a put-up job. Fow-
Ter claims that Alexander recently hal
some trouble with hired man and had
him arrested. Aaron succeeded in get
ting him discharged, and soon after
this Aaron's barn was burned By
an incendiary. Soon after the con-
fiagration Fowler, so the story
rms, was sent to Hartford by
Alexander to buy powder Alexan
de1's character has always been good,
and many believe that Fowler and
Aaron have trumped up the charges
against him. All who have seen it say
that the material in the chest was GER
tainly powder. Austin made the dis
covery on information given by Aaron
Hall

The Panhandle Road Robbers

PrTTsBURGH, april Let is quite
probable that no hearings will be held
IN the cases of the Panhandle robbers
Monday. More than half of the prison
ers have already waived a preliminary
hearing for court trial. and it is be
lieved the others will take the same ac-
ton. This will enable tie defendants
to get their cases before the grand jury
in time for the present term of the
court. Within the past twenty-four
hours a number of the prisoners have
made voluntary confessions to the at
torneys of the railroad company, but
the nature of the disclosures have not
been given to the public. 1t is claimed,
however, that they tally almost exactly
with the facts as learned by the de-
tectiyes in their researches.
Another and very important arrest
was made to-day. II. c. Busby, who
escaped from the officers at Dennison,
Ohio, on Monday, by jumping from a
train, was recaptured this morning and
lodged in Jail. He is regarded by the
detectives as one Of the ringleaders.
Conductor Blacky, who has been away
since his release ON bail, returned to
the city this morning, and Is ready to
Stand trial
